package org.assertj.db.navigation;

import org.assertj.db.navigation.element.RowElement;

/**
 * Defines methods to navigate to a {@link org.assertj.db.type.Row} from a {@link org.assertj.db.type.Change}.
 * The different methods return an assertion on one row {@link org.assertj.db.navigation.element.RowElement}.
 * These methods exists when navigating (at the beginning {@code assertThat()}) from changes.
 * As shown in the diagram below, it is possible to call the method to navigate to a {@link org.assertj.db.navigation.element.RowElement} from :
 * 
 *     a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeAssert})
 *     a column of a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeColumnAssert})
 *     a value of a column of a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeColumnValueAssert})
 *     a row of a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeRowAssert})
 *     a value of a row of a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeRowValueAssert})
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * It is important to keep in mind that the methods are executed from the point of view of the last instance with assertion methods on a change ({@link org.assertj.db.api.ChangeAssert}).

 * So all the lines of code below are equivalent : they point on the row at end point.
 * 
 *  * 
 * assertThat(changes).change().rowAtEndPoint()......;                                                    // Point directly on the row at end point
 * // Use the returnToChange() method to return on the change and access to the row at end point
 * assertThat(changes).change().rowAtStartPoint().returnToChange().rowAtEndPoint()......;
 * assertThat(changes).change().rowAtStartPoint().rowAtEndPoint()......;                                  // Same as precedent but returnToChange() is implicit
 * assertThat(changes).change().column().rowAtEndPoint()......;                                           // The method can be call from a column
 * assertThat(changes).change().column().value().rowAtEndPoint()......;
 * assertThat(changes).change().column(1).value().rowAtEndPoint()......;
 * // Equivalent to the precedent but with the use of the methods to return to origin
 * assertThat(changes).change().column(1).value().returnToColumn().returnToChange().rowAtEndPoint()......;
 * 
 *
